REVIEW ON SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA-ASIATICA 100 AMPOULE

Hi beautifuls ❤ ,

Skin1004 Madagascar Centella-Asiatica 100 Ampoule products have been blowing up on social media in Korea for soothing acne prone skin and I just have to get it.  I was excited and have been using it for about a month along with some other products.  I think by now, most reader would know that I have been loving centella asiatica products since few years ago and they work really well on my acne prone sensitive skin without burning my skin. ❤

Centella asiatica is also a plant that is found in South East Asia and in Madagascar which you can actually eat it too.  It is safe even for pregnant mothers since it is herbs used post child birth to speed up healing during confinement.

For the ingredients, there is only one ingredient with the three component of centella asiatica in it. I don’t think there is preservative but the product seems fine even when I don’t place it inside the fridge. Centella asiatica has the ability to speed up healing and protect skin from damage.

The liquid is slightly yellowish  with slight viscosity to it. There is a faint plant scent but it is not prolong. I have been using it for a month with a week with just this ampoule alone and the other weeks with other products. This is a multi uses products. I have use it as mist, sheet mask and also layering it as toner.

Skin1004 Madagascar Centella-Asiatica 100 Ampoule absorbs into my skin fast without stickiness or residue if you pat it onto your skin. I find that it is a gentle skincare products that helps with healing my skin when I pick my skin, reduce redness from the hot weather and breakouts. It does work on healing whiteheads but not on acne prevention, I don’t see it actually since I still breakout in cystic acne when I eat dairy and high sugary food. I think this is a products that speed up healing, hydrate the skin reduce acne damage, reduce red scars and dark scars. I use it with my neem powder and the centella powder which works really great together.

Overall, Skin1004 Madagascar Centella-Asiatica 100 Ampoule is a great gentle product for speeding up healing, reduce acne damage, reduce redness and hydrate the skin well for any skin type.

REVIEW ON KLAIRS SOFT AIRY UV ESSENCE SPF 50+ PA++++

Hi beautifuls,

Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence SPF 50+ Pa++++ that has instantly becomes one of the sunscreen that I reach for most of the days now. It comes in an opaque white plastic tube with nice silver cap. The box is also pretty with white box and holographic design.

Using sunscreen is really important to prevent skin damage and skin cancer.  Using a nice cosmetics elegance texture is even more important since no one like the feeling of having feeling thick messy stuff melting from my face.

For that reasons, I am currently liking this new Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence SPF 50+ Pa++++ which is really nice Korean sunscreen without the white cast, cruelty free and vegan friendly.

The Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence SPF 50 PA++++ is an everyday sun protector for sensitive skin. As is it water-based, it holds a gel-type texture to give a soft weightless and light finish. Also with its high SPF and PA level, it completely guards the skin against UVA, UVB without leaving any greasiness or white cast.

Other hydrating ingredients are Dicaprylyl Carbonate , glycerine, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, vitamin E, beta glucan, Allantoin and adenosine. There are some plant ingredients such as orange oil, olive derivatives, camomile oil and yuzu oil in this sunscreen.

It has very slight minty scent which disappeared after a while. It is nice under makeup and does not pile up with foundation or other makeup which great for those that use makeup.  It is not even greasy and doesn't leave any residues on the skin.

REVIEW ON iUNIK BLACK SNAIL RESTORE SERUM

Hi Snail lovers,

Snails is an ingredient popularised by the Korean beauty industry that I don't need any introduction on this magical or gross! to some  😰

It was a hype ingredient that stay in trends through all the fast moving Kbeauty world.  The In ingredients for unique Korean skincare product, quicken the healing of acne scars, hydrating to dry acne prone skin type and for those with damaged skin barrier.

This is a review on iUNIK Black Snail Restore Serum with the snail ingredient as the first ingredient.

Snail Secretion Filtrate, Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, Methylpropanediol, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Glycereth-26,Water, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Saccharomyces/Viscum Album (Mistletoe) Ferment Extract, Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract, Laminaria Japonica Extract,Glycine Soja (Soybean) Seed Extract,Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Extract, Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract, Saccharomyces/Imperata Cylindrica Root Ferment Extract, Caprylyl Glycol,Butylene Glycol,Allantoin,Centella Asia Tica Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Artemisia Vulgaris Extract,Vaccinum Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract,Rosa Canina Fruit oil,Carbomer,Arginine, Pentylene Glycol, Adenosine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Xanthan Gum, Aspalathus Linearis Extract

iUNIK Black Snail Restore Serum comes in a glass dropper style 50ml bottle which is really classy and at the price of USD 15.49 I do think it is very affordable.

Let's talk about the ingredients, there is no artificial fragrant or colouring and focus more on effective ingredients.
The star ingredient which is snail is the first ingredient in their list of ingredients which ensure that you get what you pay for.  They use centella asiatica leaf water to help with the calming and healing.

There are many ferments and plant extract which helps with healing, hydration, calming and brightening.  Ingredients such as Blueberry, rice, licorice, gingko extract and rosehip are great to help with wrinkles and healing the skin. I do think their ingredients are great for this serum.

It contains high snail secretion filtrate so it has some viscosity to it.  It is not sticky, absorb fast into the skin and provide moisture at the same time. I can forgo my thicker moisturiser on days the weather is too hot and humid.  It does help to heal my skin from redness and when I picked on my acne.

Snails is great for healing and for moisturising when the hype exploded 5 years ago.  The rave has not end since snail is still one of the ingredients love by many for the healing ability.  With the high competitive cosmetics in Korea, it has to be something good for it to stay this long.

You can also use this UNIK Black Snail Restore Serum on cuts to fasten the healing process.  One can use it to hydrate and heal skin from over exfoliation too.

While some people may think that snail ingredient is for anti aging, that is not true since snails mucin is mainly for soothing, hydrate the skin without being too heavy and protecting the skin from further damage.

However, there are some people who cannot use snails so do test it on a small part of your face first or behind your ears for a day.

Overall, iUNIK Black Snail Restore Serum is recommended for people who love snail ingredients, dry acne prone skin type and to deal with redness. I personally do think that this serum is great for hydration and soothing ability.  Big bottle with affordable price too.

REVIEW ON PINKPAGE BODYWASH GENTLE WASH

Hi Beauties❤,

I am really grateful to 0.8L for contacting me if I am interested to try out some product from Pinkpage which produces affordable mild gentle products for sensitive skin.  The simple design is what that got me interest in it.

I decided upon this Pinkpage gentle wash, the other name is the Pinkpage Bodywash and Feminine Cleanser Gentle Wash. Honestly, I pick it just because I wanted to test it out if this Korean brand is going to be different and finally has a body product that can also work as a facial cleanser since it has low pH of 5.

Pinkpage Bodywash and Feminine Cleanser Gentle Wash

Pinkpage Gentle Wash has a nice pink and black cap which I really like.  It comes in a pump which is convenient and the compact size makes it easy to carry during travelling.  I do like that the name as Pinkpage gentle wash.  No "feminine cleanser" printed there as some people get the wrong idea that I purposely get a product to just wash that part of me when I use it for other reason.  It is product made as body wash and not just as feminine wash.

The first ingredients is water. Although the second ingredient is alcohol it does not burn my skin at all. My skin tend to react now with strong alcohol so I assumed that the amount of alcohol is really low to not do anything on my skin.  There are many other plant ingredients in this product which I appreciate.  The fragrance is really mild and doesn't linger on the skin at all so it won't interfere with other body products. It smells like baby powder.

Pinkpage Bodywash and Feminine Cleanser Gentle Wash is transparent gel cleanser that does not foam at all.  Actually, I do not use it as feminine wash as I use it as a face wash and as a body shower gel for 2 weeks.  It does not dry my skin, leave any residue or cause my skin to break out(I have acne prone combination skin).  The low pH of 5 makes it ideal for those that like low pH cleanser.  The cleanser cleanses my body, leaves it smooth and is very mild.  Honestly, I really like it as it reduces the amount of products I carry during travelling and is not irritating to my skin.

Overall, Pinkpage Bodywash and Feminine Cleanser Gentle Wash is a great gentle product that you can use it as facial wash and body cleanser. It is sure great for travelling.

REVIEW ON SHIKAI TEA TREE SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER

Hi gorgeous,

I have been loving natural body and hair care from Shikai which is an American brands that produces natural products since 1970 with affordable price.  Their Borage Therapy and this tea tree hair shampoo won award at the 6th Malaysian Harper’s Bazaar Hair Awards 2017.

Here is the review on Shikai tea tree shampoo and Shikai tea tree conditioner.  I have oily scalp and live in a hot humid weather so I use shampoo with natural ingredients to cleanse the scalp without drying my hair.

Shikai tea tree conditioner
Ingredients:
Purified Water (Aqua), Cetearyl Alcohol/Ceteareth-20, Glycerin, Jojoba Seed Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis), Avocado Oil (Persia Gratissima), Behentrimonium Chloride, Amodimethicone, Panthenol, Guar Powder, Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia), Peppermint Oil (Mentha Piperita), Menthol, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexyl Glycerin, Natural Fragrance.




Shikai tea tree shampoo is slight yellowish gel which lathered up well on my hair.  The shampoo has natural fragrance of tea tree and peppermint. It does cleanses my scalp well, calm down the scalp and not drying on my hair.  I do feel the fresh feeling of the peppermint which works great for oily scalp type.  The pH of the shampoo is 5 to 6 which is the pH of our skin and prevents fungal on the hair.  The ingredients are simple with great ingredients such as tea tree oil, peppermint and panthenol which is to clean the skin well without sulphate. My hair doesn't feel dry or rough after the wash.  It is not silky smooth so one would need to use a conditioner with it.  I use the shampoo everyday and it doesn't cause damaged hair.

As for the Shikai tea tree conditioner it does smell like tea tree but the scent is disappeared after 15minutes of wash. I don't mind the scent personally since I like the smell of tea tree oil.  It does make the hair silky smooth without weighting the hair down.  It is not heavy and it effect does last for two days. The pH is around 5-6 which it think is gentle for everyday use.  It does soothe my irritated scalp because of the heat.  The natural ingredients from plant are high on the list which is really gentle on scalp.  Jojoba oil, Avocado and Guar are great for moisturising the hair without being heavy.  Tea tree oil and peppermint oil helps with the oil control and being anti fungal those are great to balance out the scalp from irritation and make it healthy.


There is not animal testing and no animal ingredients in their products.

Overall, Shikai tea tree shampoo and Shikai tea tree conditioner are great hair care for oily scalp type.  It is cruelty free, vegans and made from natural plant based ingredients(the plants are high on the ingredient list which means they use a lot of it).  Also, products are affordable and one can just try the minis to see if it works for them.

Always21 Nature Refresh Mask Sheet

Always21 Nature Refresh Mask Sheet – Acai Berry, Grapefruit , Gold Kiwi, Pomegranate, Green Apple.  Each of the mask has the same ingredients except for their Star ingredient. If their Star ingredient is grapefruit, then grapefruit extract is in written with the amount(ppm) of what they put inside.

Always21 Nature Refresh Mask Sheet fit is alright. It has wider width.  The material is cottony, does not tear up easily and of medium thickness. There are extra essence inside the package which is enough to apply to your neck or just pour it to the sheet mask when it is slightly drier.  The essence is a transparent liquid which does absorb and dry easily after masking.  There are extra liquid so one can prolong the time of the sheet masking session.

The scent depends on which variant you are using. It does have some synthetic fragrance that can be strong to some and stays during the masking time. The scent does disappeared once the essence on the face dries up. Green Apple has artificial scent of apple, pomegranate smells like cough syrup, acai berry smells like those bubblegum grapes, grapefruit smells like citrus grapefruit scent and gold kiwi smells like cough syrup.

Always21 Nature Refresh Mask Sheet doesn't irritate my skin. It does temporarily brighten and moisturise which also mean you do need to do sheet mask daily to maintain the hydration and brightness.

Overall, Always21 Nature Refresh Mask Sheet – Acai Berry, Grapefruit , Gold Kiwi, Pomegranate, Green Apple is a nice affordable sheet mask for every day sheet mask or just weekly mask.
